What an injustice! Unjustly accused! A herd of donkeys stamped their feet and shouted.
The Wheel-turning King felt strange and said, "If you beasts have any grievances, don't make trouble." Then he pointed to a lame donkey standing at the front: Let him speak.
The lame donkey tearfully explained the reason: It's not that we don't want to turn to donkey bodies, it's that we don't want to be reincarnated in Baozhuang. A woman named Hong Tu in Baozhuang opened a donkey meat restaurant. The slaughter of donkeys was extremely brutal. In order to attract business, she invented a method of scalding donkeys to extract meat. She used iron clamps to clamp the four legs of a live donkey so that it could not move. , and then take the diners to the live donkey and point them out. If they want to eat the meat on the donkey, they can use a knife to cut it out.
When cutting out the meat, in order to remove the hair on the donkey, boiling water was poured on the live donkey, so that as soon as the knife was moved, the hair on the donkey fell off like a whirlwind. The woman then cut it out with a knife, and it was very easy to take out a piece of fresh meat. However, you know that the pain of a living donkey that wants to die but cannot live is more than ten reincarnations of death; in the book of life and death in the underworld, a donkey that suffered such a slaughter is only counted as having died once. In view of this, none of us are willing to go to Baozhuang to be reborn as a donkey.
The wheel-turning king understood, and sent an order to Japan for a patrol to confirm that donkeys were being scalded in Baozhuang. Some diners were keen on tasting fresh donkey meat, which led to the slaughter of scalded donkeys intensifying.
Riyouxuan also reported: Since the business of blanching donkeys for meat is booming in Baozhuang, some people want to follow suit and open a new donkey meat restaurant. In this way, donkeys near Baozhuang and even dozens of miles away will suffer in the slaughterhouse!
At this moment, a group of donkeys knelt down in front of the Wheel-turning King and shouted: Your Majesty, please be kind and arrange for us to be reincarnated elsewhere.
No, you must go to Baozhuang to reincarnate. Regarding Baozhuang’s cruel method of scalding and slaughtering donkeys, Hades will take timely measures to abolish it. The Wheel King spoke firmly.
When the tenth donkey was scalded and slaughtered, Hong Tu felt that his body was either itchy here or rough there. When he scratched it, red bumps appeared, which made the itching worse. If he scratched again, the red bumps turned into lumps. After only half a day, she was helpless as she was doing the work of scalding and slaughtering donkeys. The donkey that was scalded but not dead let out a series of screams of "Ehhhhhhh". Every time she screamed, she felt panic in her heart, and then Feeling hot all over. She called Shuaiying to scald the donkey for her to be slaughtered. Shuaiying said she was afraid, so she covered her eyes and walked away after looking at the trembling donkey being scalded.
Hong Tu couldn't bear it anymore, so she said to the customers who were standing next to the live donkeys waiting to buy fresh meat: We won't sell it anymore. If you want fresh donkey meat, you can cut it yourself.
She handed the butcher knife to a male customer who had been waiting for a long time. The male customer waved his hand and said I would come back when you sell again.
Hong Tu returned to the room to rest for most of the day. It was already dusk, and a ray of afterglow from the setting sun shone into the window lattice, which was crimson and red, like the swollen and purple parts of Hong Tu's body.
At this time, Shuaiying came and saw her mother lying on the bed. She moved closer and touched her mother. She found that her mother's body was hot. She was so frightened that she started crying. A voice said in her heart: What should I do? Mom is sick, very sick. Suddenly her mind became brighter, and she ran to the patriarch Bao Xiangdong's house, knelt down in front of him, and shouted with tears: Grandpa Bao, save my mother!
What happened to your mother? Bao Xiangdong pulled Shuaiying and asked.
My mother was seriously ill and had a fever all over her body. As the leader of the clan, you will be able to save my mother. Shuaiying's words made Bao Xiangdong feel warm in his heart, and he immediately expressed his stance: I will go ask the doctor right away, and you should go back and take care of your mother.
When Bao Xiangdong took his doctor to Hong Tu's donkey meat restaurant, he heard Shuai Ying and Lan Lan crying for their mother before they entered the room where Hong Tu was lying sick. Walking in, Hong Tu was talking nonsense. While the doctor was feeling her pulse, he occasionally heard her say a series of words that sounded like Hu Fei Hu: Quickly, kill the unscalded donkey caught in the iron clamp in front of the house. Only when it is freed will the pain in my body be relieved. But it's a bit lighter... Bao Xiangdong also heard it, and was as frightened and concerned as the doctor.
Let's go try and kill the donkey that wasn't scalded to death. Let's see what else she talks nonsense about. Bao Xiangdong made a suggestion and was approved by Shuaiying. The good boy immediately ran out of the room and quickly took a butcher knife and handed it to Bao Xiangdong: "Grandpa Bao, I have brought you what you need." Bao Xiangdong took the butcher knife and nodded to Shuaiying, looking at the doctor to see what he meant.
The doctor said: This woman's pulse is very messy. It's time to try what she said. From a common sense point of view, it is better to kill the donkey with one or two cuts than to slowly burn it with boiling water and then kill it one by one. It would be better to cut the donkey to death, as that would at least put the donkey out of extreme pain quickly.
Then give it a try. Bao Xiangdong said, holding the butcher knife.
You go and do this. The doctor asked Bao Xiangdong to butcher the donkey, and asked Shuaiying to bring a basin and a towel. He then went into the kitchen to fill the cold water from the water tank, then moved it to the room where Hong Tu was lying in bed, and then twisted up the soaked towel. , fold it into a palm-sized strip and apply it on Hong Tu’s forehead to cool her down and reduce her fever.
Lan Lan started to cry hard, but now she stopped. There were still tears on her face. She opened her mouth and looked at the doctor with big eyes. The doctor was observing her mother's illness, and her mother was still repeating the seemingly nonsense sentence. It's nonsense, but it has some truth to it.
The donkey caught in the iron clamp outside screamed miserably as if it was dying, and then returned to tranquility. The doctor felt it. Shuaiying, who was standing by the door and sometimes looking inside and outside, suddenly shouted with great sensitivity: "Mom, don't say those words anymore." Okay, okay, the donkey in front of the house was killed by Grandpa Bao.
Sure enough, Hong Tu didn't repeat that sentence. Now she was lying quietly, but her body was still burning hot. The doctor took off the towel that had been heated on Hong Tu's forehead, soaked it in cold water, twisted it, and applied it again.
Bao Xiangdong walked in with a bloody butcher knife, bringing a smell of blood into the air.
The doctor said to Bao Xiangdong: This move is really effective. After killing the donkey, the patient stopped barking.
But at this moment, Hong Tu was scratching her whole body with her hands, and she was itching badly. The doctor lifted up the quilt covering her body and saw that her body was covered with dense impetigo. Some were red, swollen and turned black, and some were ulcerated and pus-filled. Then Hongtu kept shouting: hot, hot, so hot that it felt as uncomfortable as boiling water to scald your body. She burst into tears, cried, and started talking nonsense again.
There was a piece of nonsense that Bao Xiangdong understood very clearly. Hong Tu said that some ghost donkeys that she had burned to death were coming to demand her life. She refused to go, and even cried and shouted: You can't go, my man has abandoned the family. I won’t come back. I have two underage girls at home. If I leave, who will take care of them? Shuaiying also heard this nonsense. She suddenly pulled Bao Xiangdong's clothes and cried loudly. While crying, she complained: What should I do if my mother has some shortcomings?
Bao Xiangdong touched Shuaiying's head and said, "My child, don't be afraid. There are uncles and uncles in the whole family who will take care of your sisters."
